I currently have 10 white ameracauna chicks, 2 female cream legbars, and 2 Dominique crosses 
As to what Bator Im using: i have a mini Brinsea which hold 7 with the auto turner. I also have a hovabator (old model).
I think I am so much more successful this time because I wasn't all over the incubator and eggs all the time. I dry incubated until day 17 or so, then added a bit of water. On day 19 I popped up the humidity like a good girl. But this time I did not seal everything with tape. I was sealing everything TOO tight and I was most likely trapping large amounts of carbon dioxide in my bators. (Too much of a good thing) Normally, I get less that half hatch out of what goes into lockdown. My hatch rate has been abysmal. This time I have only 2 eggs left. Oh course one of them is the only lemon cuckoo Orp.
but I'm thrilled I got 2 female leg bars at least!
For Ghost, and Cind..., HONEY. I finally got my Roo in here and soaked his poor legs. He's got leg mites. I was told to use olive oil. I was told Vaseline. I was told mayonnaise. I got to thinking about the healing properties in honey and how sticky it is. I put organic, pure, uncooked honey on his legs after the soak. What do you guys think about this? Do you think this will be good enough to suffocate the suckers, while still fighting open spots from getting infected?
